Fianna Fáil TD Niamh Smyth has encouraged local commuters to have their say on a new bus route from Kells to Virginia.
The National Transport Authority (NTA) has today opened a public consultation on plans to significantly enhance bus route 187, operated by
Bus Éireann.
Deputy Smyth said that the NTA is proposing to improve the level of service and hours of operation on the route along the corridor between Kells and Virginia.
According to the local TD, these plans include the addition of later evening weekday services, an introduction of Sunday services, and connecting
Crossakiel to the Transport for Ireland (TFI) network.
Speaking to Northern Sound, Deputy Smyth "encouraged" all local commuters to have their say on the proposed service:
Deputy Smyth continued; "I understand that the newly enhanced 187 Route will operate six times per day between Kells to Virginia, and five times a day between Virginia and Kells. All services will serve Crossakiel, Oldcastle and Ballyjamesduff. Some journeys will operate via Mount Nugent, and others will operate via Castlerahan."
